If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time – register through the link below today! We can’t wait to learn and grow alongside you!
Join us in Wednesday nights in August for four learning opportunities that will move us from awareness to compassion and action! Each week, guest speakers will join Shari McMinn to focus on an area of need in our city. We will learn the needs, learn God's heart, hear stories from those involved, and discover practical ways to serve.
Ages 13+ are welcome. Pizza will be provided.
**Childcare is available for birth – Pre-K with pre-registration by the Sunday before.

Colonial Elementary, a nearby Title 1 school, is improving educational opportunities to children pre-k through 5th grade in disadvantaged families.
One of the goals of Colonial Elementary is to increase proficiency for all of their enrolled students, many of whom receive additional literacy help weekly. New Hope supports the Colonial community through regular support to staff and teachers, donations of school supplies for families, and sponsorship of various school events throughout the year.
PRAY:
• Pray for the leadership and staff all year long to have clear direction and unity.
• Pray that God would be moving in the hearts of Colonial children and their families.
• Pray for our New Hope team of reading mentors, that their dedication to the students would reflect God’s love for them.
GO:
August 5 is Colonial’s Open House date. You can volunteer to assist families as they navigate important information for the school year. For more details or to sign up, email Rachel@newhopefortmyers.org.

The "N" Family is stateside on a home assignment this summer. They are reconnecting with support networks and family during this time. Please pray for safety in their travels which will cover a lot of geography. We give thanks for the vibrant and diverse ministry projects they lead or are a part of in North Africa, expanding God’s kingdom!
